Chapter 55 Deng Jie's decision for the people
(The first update... I didn't have the internet last night, so I was scared to death. Today I got up with a Blizzard in Wuhu. It was really scary. The Blizzard that had been talking about for more than a month has finally arrived. I hope it will be auspicious snow that indicates a good harvest!)
In the next five days, Zhu Lang's home was about a hundred people from Taiping Prefecture, leading livestock to come over, hoping that Zhu Lang, the miraculous doctor, could save his livestock. Zhu Lang did not disappoint the people in Taiping Prefecture, and did his best. Zhu Lang asked the people who had no money to build a house for his family. This not only would save the money for the treatment of livestock, but Zhu Lang's grandmother also took care of food and accommodation.
This kind and heartwarming behavior made almost all the people in Taiping Prefecture in the future give Zhu Lang a thumbs up when they talk about Zhu Lang. Almost all the people in Taiping Prefecture have used the livestock that Zhu Lang has been treated to help them plow the fields and transport goods...and so on!
Zhu Lang's reputation was also directly erected because of this.
But what is very surprising is that just after Zhu Lang's reputation became established, Deng Jie's statement was spread. When Deng Jie first left Yingtian, his heart was full of hatred. He hated Zhu Yuanzhang for demoting himself to Yingtian.
You should know that Yingtian is his home, and Zhu Yuanzhang actually demoted him from a monk, no one would be happy, so Deng Jie left Yingtian with resentment. Later, after arriving at Dangtu, Chen Mao, the local snake, came out and took Deng Jie around to play, which opened Deng Jie's depressed heart, making Deng Jie feel that Dangtu was actually not bad.
More importantly, after returning from the tour, Deng Jie discovered the message his mother brought to him, and asked Deng Jie to be a good official and do more good things for the people. When his father came back from the war and made military achievements, he would use military achievements to exchange Deng Jie back.
This made Deng Jie see hope, and also opened Deng Jie's mood, which made Deng Jie's hatred for Zhu Yuanzhang much less. At this time, Deng Jie also thought to listen to his mother's words and wanted to seek welfare for the people of Dangtu County.
At this moment, Deng Jie really encountered something to make decisions for the people.
On the 18th day of the first lunar month, a farmer father and son came to Dangtu County to sell dates. The dates are the kind of winter dates. The dates in winter taste very sweet and crispy. And because there are no other fruits in winter, you can sell dates at a good price.
The peasant father and son are very honest father and son. They have never been to the county town and don’t know where the market is. Suddenly, the two saw an open space. The father and son didn’t think about anything else. They tied the donkey to the stone tablet at the door of a rich man, and then started hawking in front of the rich man’s door.
But what the father and son didn't know was that this rich man was a famous domineering man in Dangtu County. He had 15 or 16 dog-legged children in his family and was also related to officials in the county government. The father and son came to sell winter dates in front of the door of this family and were waiting for bad luck.
Sure enough, just when the father and son were still hawking, the door of the rich man's house was suddenly opened, and a fat man with a bald, round face and frowning beard walked out, and there were five or six short-dressed dog legs following the fat man.
As soon as he saw someone selling dates in front of his door, the fat man immediately shouted: "What are you doing? Do you want to die... you actually dare to sell dates in front of my high-ranking official...?" As he said that, the fat man kicked the date basket in front of the common people and fathers and sons with a fierce kick.
All the fresh winter dates in the date basket rolled out and sprinkled all over the floor.
"What are you doing..." The ten-year-old son showed a heartache expression: "This is our winter dates. After selling them out, we still have to get medicine for my mother." As he said that, the ten-year-old son began to kneel on the ground and pick up the dates that had been rolled out.
However, just as his ten-year-old son kept picking up dates, the legs behind the fat man walked over and stepped on the winter dates one after another. When he stepped on it, the winter dates were directly crushed.
"Don't...!" The ten-year-old son wanted to block the men's heavy feet, but his hands had just protected the winter dates, but he was stepped on by one step. The winter dates protected by his hands were broken, and the ten-year-old son's hand was also bleeding.
The ten-year-old son started crying with a "wow" because it hurts so much.
"Son...!" The common man's father picked up his ten-year-old son with a heartache. Compared to his son's stubbornness, the father knew very clearly that the helplessness of living was born with people. At first glance, these people were not something that their father and son could afford, so the father quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, sorry, we are countrymen and have never entered the city. Please, sir, sir, let us let us go once, I'll kowtow to you."
As he said that, the father knelt down and kowtowed to the fat man present and his dog-legged.
Originally, the fat man and his tycoons saw that the other party had kowtowed and apologized, so they were ready to let go, but who knew that suddenly, the donkey from the father and son pulled a sparse shot towards the steps of the rich man's house.
"Bad guy..." The fat man became angry again in an instant, and directly asked the father and son to lick the donkey's sparse water with their mouths. This was a very insulting behavior. The ten-year-old son was so angry that he cursed...!
As the scolding ended, countless punches fell on the father and son, and the father and son were beaten to death. At this time, the yamen runners ran over after receiving the report.
He directly brought the fat man, the dog legs and the beaten father and son back to the yamen.
Deng Jie personally tried the case. The result of the case was obvious. The fat man who beat the person was the brother-in-law of the rich man. You should know that the rich man had a good relationship with the officials in the county, so all the people thought that the honest father and son were finished this time.
Even if you are beaten, you may even have to pay off your own donkey. This is the sadness of the ancient people. Otherwise, there would not be the awakening motto of the people not fighting with officials.
But what surprised the people of Dangtu County was that Deng Jie did not make the judgment as those people thought. After Deng Jie figured out the whole story, Deng Jie's judgment was that the rich man's brother-in-law innocently beat someone and injured him, so the rich man's brother-in-law was wrong.
The fat man was later sentenced to compensate the common people and his son for fifty taels of silver to treat his injuries. He then hit the fat man with a heavy blow, and directly opened the butt of the fat man. Later, he was carried back home by the servants with the door panel.
After this judgment, the people of Dangtu County were stunned. No one knew that their county magistrate dared to judge the rich man's brother-in-law. Don't you want to be an official? You must know that the rich man's methods have been connected to the mansion.
But after the people of Dangtu County were finally inquired, they realized that their county magistrate was the third son of Duke Wei of the dynasty, and was sent to Dangtu as a county magistrate because he had committed a trivial matter.
You said that the third son of Duke Wei would be afraid that you, a small rich man in the county, would be this little rich man who was connected to the mansion, but what was the matter in this mansion? Suddenly, this news directly triggered the entire Taiping Mansion. The common people were excited because they thought that a good life for them was coming. With the third son of Duke Wei, the people were determined for the people, and those officials dared to ravage them and others wantonly.
So in this way, Deng Jie's reputation also rose high, even higher than that of Zhu Lang, the kind genius doctor.
And even Zhu Lang was saved by Deng Jie's reputation once. What's going on? Let's hear the next breakdown.
